North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) is a grass-roots association of citizens from Rockaway Beach ﻿﻿and﻿﻿ surrounding ﻿﻿﻿communities﻿﻿﻿. The group began in 2012 with the actions of one Rockaway citizen concerned about clear cutting for forestland and aerial spraying in the Jetty Creek Watershed - the sole source of her community's drinking water.

The group now partners with﻿﻿﻿ ﻿﻿﻿neighboring communities facing air- and water-quality issues and with statewide organizations advocating for forest practices that will ensure clean air and water for all living beings.
